About Troopod
About
In 2017, like any other college kids straight out of college, we also wanted to start something of our own, build our own Startup. We had tons of ideas but couldn't find the right set of folks with whom we can discuss our thoughts.
We messaged people on LinkedIn and Facebook but no one gave us any "BHAV". We became part of various startup communities but all of them were filled with people spamming and selling their stuff.
Out of frustration, we decided to start our own community where entrepreneurs can share and discuss around their startup ideas, which is famously known as Pushstart as of today.
We worked on Pushstart for 3 years, scaled it to 22k+ monthly active entrepreneurs across India, 100k+ monthly conversations, and a decent revenue to sustain a full-time team of 10 folks
While we scaled http://pushstart.in">Pushstart, we realized that every person is unique and has a plethora of problems and interests which can't be catered via one single community.
That's when we started building niche communities but soon we realized that if we want to target the 7 Billion people out there, we can't be the only ones creating communities.We need to empower millions of other community builders so that they can build niche communities.
And that's how the idea of Troopod came into existence
Troopod is a mobile-first platform that empowers community builders to efficiently set up and manage purpose-driven communities. We call it "Slack for Communities"
